A divided postcard containing a print from the painting of the southwest façade of the main hall on the Hebrew University campus in Jerusalem on Mount Scopus and the square around the hall. This painting was made by Frank Mears, according to the plan of the British architect and planner Patrick Geddes (1854-1932), who was invited by Chaim Weizmann in 1919 to carry out the master plan for the university buildings. The back of the postcard stated that it was published by Renaissance Publishing, which operated in Vienna and New York. This postcard was not in use and does not specify any date. Apparently, it was produced near the official opening of the Hebrew University, in 1925.
